INSTRUCTIONS:
- Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Step 2 – In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and rum (if using). Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Step 3 – Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the prepared bundt cake pan. Then pour the cake batter over the melted butter in the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Step 4 – Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 5 – While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the powdered sugar and rum (if using), whisking until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
- Step 6 – Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Step 7 – After 10 minutes, invert the cake onto a serving plate or cake stand. Slowly pour the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in and drizzle down the sides.
- Step 8 – Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Slice and serve the Best Crack Cake as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
